These ruins are in a different province (Luya), not all that far from where the famous mummies were found that year we were in the area. The Sanctuary is on the vast property of my brother-in-law’s father. I think it has religious significance because of the pyramid symbols or upside-down “V”s. These same symbols are all over the first Christian church built by the Chachapoyans. This church, which can still be seen today in La Jalca Grande, is a mixture of Chachapoyan and Spanish/Christian influences. Note: There are other high quality ruins nearby, that appear to be known only by the landowner’s family and friends.
